Xiao Anbao painstakingly organized the combat team, hoping to use the combat experience of the students to guide the Filipino and American soldiers, so that they could quickly become familiar with the war and be able to enter the role as soon as possible. However, because of Wang Laohu's provocative method, although the combat team was still exists, but the team members have become competitors, which is completely different from his original intention.
The Japanese army began to land. The first to disembark was a squadron of Japanese soldiers. They carefully waded onto the beach through knee-deep water. Then, the machine gunners took the lead in setting up machine gun positions in the open space. The mortar crews also began to consolidate the beach and begin setting up positions. At the grenadier position, a second lieutenant drew out his command knife and raised it forward. A small group of Japs led by a sergeant came up the mountain.
Ever since the Japs started to land, Wang Laohu seemed to have changed. His eyes widened, and there was no trace of laughter or cursing on his face. Instead, there was a murderous look on his face. His whole person seemed to have turned into a handful. Like an unsheathed steel knife, when he saw the thirty or so Japanese soldiers marching towards the mountain in skirmish formation, he emphasized in a low voice again: "No shooting without my order."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "click-click" sound, and a Japanese soldier fired a gun towards the mountain, and then a "click-click" sound was heard. Several Filipino soldiers could not control their nervousness and nervously pulled the trigger to fight back. ,
"MD, you are a waste." Wang Laohu cursed fiercely at the Filipino soldiers who fired, and said to Geng Qingsheng: "Tell them, if anyone continues to disobey the command and shoot indiscriminately, I will kill him."
Geng Qingsheng shouted truthfully. Du Disheng glanced at the Japanese soldiers who quickly fell to the ground and shouted: "Sir, you have forgotten your usual instructions. You are not allowed to shoot without an order."
After the Japs in the front group fell down, the Japs machine gunners and grenadiers behind them immediately fired and launched grenades towards the place where the gunshots were heard.
The "click-click" sound of gunfire and the "rumbling" explosion sounded. A Filipino soldier felt that the impact of the shell was on his side. He wanted to get up and run away, but was held down by a student soldier next to him. The student soldier glared at the Filipino soldier fiercely and shouted: "If you don't want to die, just lie down."
The Filipino soldier couldn't understand Chinese, but he looked at the fierce look on the student soldier's face and resisted any further struggle. "Boom", a grenade hit the hillside in front of them and exploded. The Filipino soldier's whole body trembled. Then when the fireworks dissipated, he was surprised to find that he was not dead. He couldn't help but look at the student with gratitude.
The student soldier was not in the mood to experience the feeling of escaping from death, so he spat: "MD, why would the Brigade let us partner with such a mentally retarded guy?"
The regiment also had mortars, eight in total, two for the students, six for the Filipino soldiers and six for the American soldiers. These eight cannons and the sixteen mortar crews were hidden behind Wang Laohu as if they were treasures. At this time, He waved his hand towards the mortar position, making a shooting gesture.
Among the four student mortar operators, the officer was a staff sergeant named Gu Daping. Before that, he first set up a mortar position, and then communicated with eight American soldiers and four Filipino soldiers by talking and making gestures. , successfully persuaded them to shoot according to the shooting angle he provided. At this time, he slightly adjusted the shooting angle, then made a gesture to the U.S. Army second lieutenant Dapoli, held up a grenade, and Dapoli said something in a jittery voice. , so the gunners of the Philippine soldiers and the American soldiers all adjusted the shooting angle in the same way, and each held a grenade. Gu Daping shouted: "Let go." He loosened his hand and stepped back, "Bang" With a bang, his grenade was launched immediately,
Gu Daping was aiming at the Japanese mortar position. The Japs in this brigade were equipped with a total of eight mortars. Only two had been put into attack before. At this time, the other six were being deployed. They were separated by about 800 meters of mortars. Gu Daping was so high up that he didn't even bother to test fire. One shot hit the center of the Japanese mortar position. With a loud "boom", the two mortars were blown away together with several Japanese soldiers around them. The next moment, Seven grenades were dropped one after another, and continuous explosions were heard. The Japanese army's eight mortars and nearly twenty Japanese soldiers were all blown away at once. It was a good start for the group.
After one shot, Dapoli gave Gu Daping a thumbs up.
Gu Daping had no time to pay attention to him. Instead, he adjusted his angle again and aimed at the Japanese machine gun position and fired another shot.
Similarly, he was the first to hit the target with one shot, and then others followed suit, destroying the Japanese machine gun position in one round. Then, he ordered his men to lift up the mortars and run away, while saying to Dapoli: " Move your position and follow me."
The mortar unit fired two volleys and killed the Japs' mortar unit and a machine gun position. Wang Lao Lao's bad mood eased, and he lowered his voice and shouted: "Brothers, the big bottle has given us a good start. Please keep your spirits up and let the Americans see how we fight."
Two consecutive rounds of intensive bombing plus twenty minutes of saturated artillery bombardment. In Hirono Akio's view, even if there were defenders on the Zamboanga Mountains, their scale would definitely be limited. However, seeing the Nomura Battalion's mortar unit After being wiped out by a volley of fire, his face became ugly. He zoomed out the lens of the telescope. After carefully examining the terrain of the battlefield, he frowned and said to the Chief of Staff, Colonel Nakao Kazuo, "This area The landing site is mountainous and has lush vegetation, so it may be difficult to fight."
"Your Excellency, if we carry out another round of retaliatory bombardment and lose the mortar unit, the Nomura Battalion will have no advantage at all if it attacks from behind."
"In this kind of terrain, the effects of bombing and artillery are limited. Let's take a look and talk about it."
Just after the troops landed, the mortar unit was overwhelmed and two heavy machine guns were lost. Nomura Akira looked very unkind. Because the coastal area was limited, it was not enough to establish a beachhead. He simply ordered everyone to spread out and lie down, and then He picked up the telescope and carefully screened the surrounding terrain, and finally decided to launch an attack on the mountain on the right. He drew out his command knife, pointed at the place where Wang Huhu was, and shouted: "The grenadiers are always ready to provide cover, move forward."
The Japs got up from the ground and slowly climbed up the mountain with their Type 15 semi-automatic rifles.
Wang Laohu's eyes widened again and he shouted again: "Everyone is here, no shooting is allowed without my order."
Du Dickson followed up and said: "Everyone, please pay attention, no shooting is allowed without orders."
The figure of the little Jaap was getting closer and closer, and the students at the forefront couldn't help but narrow their eyes, while the Filipino soldiers and American soldiers around them began to breathe heavily, and many of them even started to hold guns in their hands. Trembling slightly, Du Dickson noticed this scene. He licked his lips and thought unwillingly: "The Chinese are obviously more calm. Veterans and recruits are very different."
